We were sorry to hear of Dr. David William Schomberg's passing at the age of 84 on Feb. 2, 2024. He received his BS degree from the University of Wisconsin and his MS and PhD degrees from Purdue University.

He began his career at Duke University in 1968. During his nearly 50 years at Duke, he was awarded professorships in reproductive sciences, integrative immunology and cell biology, and he served as chief of the Division of Reproductive Biology in Duke Ob/Gyn from 1968 to 2016.

Dr. Schomberg made an indelible impact on the department's research and education missions, as well as on many trainees and faculty members. In 2016, he was honored as Professor Emeritus of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Dr. Schomberg loved being outdoors on his 100-acre farm in Hillsborough, NC, fly fishing, traveling and spending time with his family. Read Dr. Schomberg's full obituary here.
